Morning Advertiser. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFI CE, Seven o' Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT', (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before four o'clock. Mr. Crider, from the Treasury, presented papers. Mr. HODGES brought up the Report of the Committee on the' Medway Navigation Bill. Mr. MAHER moved the second reading of the Suir Navigation Bill. Mr. G. BERKELEY presented a petition from Chelten ham, signed by 2,600 persons, complaining of and praying for, the removal of a charge that was made on that town of d. extra for every newspaper and general post letter that was delivered from the Post-office. The Hon. Member considered the case of the p etitioner one of great hardship, and one which he believed existed in no other town in the kingdom. Mr. BARNARD said the case of the petitioners was not at all a singular one, as it existed at Greenwich and Deptford, BOWRING said that the same hardship existed in the city of Exeter, and he thought the subject was one well deserving the attention of his Majesty's Government. Sir E. CODRINGTON believed that his constituents • were in a worse situation than any of the cases alluded to ; for, although in that town there were upwards of 10,000 in habitants, the delivery only extended a mile each way. Mr. WALLACE could assure the House *that the statement made by the Hon. Member for Gloucestershire was perfectly true. This charge had been laid on by the Postmaster-General, against the provisions of a positive statute, and he was prepared to lay before the House three decisions of Lord Mansfield in corrobaration of the illegality of the charge .. He understood, h owever , t h at these charges were to be taken off.—(Hear, hear.) It was to be removed from newspapers, and it was not likely that it would be al lowed to be superadded on general post bills. Mr. WILKS said that if the Hon. Member for South ampton had not given notice of his intention to bring the subject before the House, he (Mr. Wilks) should have felt it his duty to do so. It. was a singular anomaly that whilst one-half of the town of Southampton paid a penny, the other paid nothing. FACTORIES' BILL. Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition from Stockport; praying for a Ten Hours' Bill, also a petition from the inha bitants of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, praying that the pre sent Vestry Act might be repealed, and that a new Bill might be passed, giving every person the right of giving one vote and no more. The Hon. Member also presented a pe tition from an individual of the name of Greenwood, a Master Extraordinary in the Navy, praying that House to give him redress, by restoring him to his place on the list, or by granting him a Court-martial. As this subject would be fully discussed when the Hon. and Gallant Member (Sir E. Codrington) brought forward his motion, he (Mr. Wakley) would not enter into the subject of this petition at present. SCOTCH MUNICIPAL REFORM. Mr. BANNERMAN presented two petitions from Aberdeen against this Bill. JOINT-STO'CK BANKS. Mr. 'E. L. BULWER presented a petition from the Directors of a Joint-Stock Bank, stating that the more the proceedings of such banks were investigated, the more they would be found deserving of protection, and praying that an inquiry might be instituted into the liabilities, &c., of private banks. BALLAD SINGING. Mr. POTTER bad a petition to present, to which he re quested the attention of the House. It was the petition of Robert Mortimer, a solicitor of Barnstaple, praying for some alteration in the Vagrancy Act. The petition stated that two ..veeks ago two boys of the name of Callaghan were singing duets at a village near Barnstaple. Their singing was perfectly harmless and inoffensive. While they were thus employed the villagers were much pleased, :nod in some instances they gave the singers refreshments, and in others sums of money. A gentleman, he was sorry to say, one of the Magistrates of Barnstaple, ordered them to he taken into custody, without giving them notice. These .two performers, the one eight and the other thirteen years of 11e, were brought before this Magistrate—the y ounger escaped, but the o th er was convicted on the Magistrate's own view of the case, without any evidence whatever, and sentenced to be imprisoned fourteen days in gaol.—(Hear.) The conimittment stated that the boy had been disorderly. The petitioner represented the extreme cruelty of being in carcerated in a dungeon for exercising a pleasing and natural endowment. He lamented that all the open spaces that were generally appropriated for the people of England to exercise t heir games and pastimes upon were taken away, and lie concluded by imploring' the House to make an alteration in the Vagrant Laws, so as clearly to define what might be considered as offences under them. The Hon. Member stated that he m os t cor diall y concurre d i n the prayer of the petition, end - that if he could gain the a s si s t ance o f an Hon. Friend o f hi s next Session; be should endeavour to niter the Vagrant Laws, by softening their extreme rigour. This was not the first time that people had been imprisoned or singing in the open air, although he could not imagine ::at that could be considered as an act of vagrancy. He oould recollect when ballad-singing was encouraged by uthorities, particularly at the commencement of the French evolution. Per i sons were then encouraged to sing loyal songs. The SPEAKER here interrupted the Hon. Member, rid reminded Lim that lie was out of order in speaking at eugth upon the petition. Mr. POTTER woull merely move that the petition be rought up, which was accordingly done and laid on the Able. - POOLE CORPORATION BILL. Mr. PRAED gave notice that he should move the in sertion of certain clauses in the Poole_ Corporation Bill :his evening. BEER LAWS. Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition signed by 430 inhabitants of Chorley, praying for an alteration in the Beer Act. DISSENTERS' GRIEVANCES. _ . Mr. WILKS presented a petition from the Dissenters • of Hillsborough, in the county of Northampton, on the subject of the grievances effecting their body. POOR LAW ACT. Mr. HOPE presented it petition from the medical prac titioners of Gloucester, a g ainst the system o f f arm i ng out the poor, since the n ew Act came into operation. Mr. WAKLEY hoped the Noble Lord, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, would state whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Government to take any step to relax the present system. FACTORY BILL. Mr. FIELDEN presented a petition from Oldham, praying for a Ten Hours' Factory Bill. Mr. MARK PHILLIPS took that opportunity to correct a mistake into which a Right Rev. Prelate had fallen in another place, when he stated that 8,000 dis torted children had been found in the streets of Manchester, which he attributed to the factory system. He felt it his duty to state thus much to the House, as he had received information from persons acquainted with the subject, and pointing out the incorrectness of th e s t a t ement :which w as calcul a t e to do considerable mischief.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It had also been stated that the poors'-rates of Manchester were very high, and that this indicated great distress ; on the contrary, the rates were never lower than at present, and he (Mr. Phillips) only trusted that those who took their opinions from others would have the kindness to go to the manufacturing dis tricts and judge for themselves, instead of giving circulation to such mis-statements.—(Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. FIELDEN, the petition was laid,on the tplale. .• Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the rules and regulations had been communicated to the Home Office, and fairly confessed ho did not see to what points the Hon. Member alluded. Mr. FEILDEN said he would 'take an opportunity of bringing the case before the House, for he thought the matter looked very like a conspiracy, in order to enable the mill-owners to evade the Act. Mr. BROTHERTON and Mr. POTTER were about to speak upon the subject, when The SPEAKER called upon Sir A. L. HAY, who brought up the Report of the Holyhead Road Bill. Mr. HAWES presented a petition, numerously signed by barristers and clergymen, praying the House to take steps to have a full catalogue for the British Museum and one relative to'the hours of the Museum being open. • Mr. C.'BULLER presented a petition from Thomas Beaumont, complaining of the Merioneth election, and praying to be heard by counsel against the return. The HON. MEMBER- brought up the Report of the Record Commission. Mr. EWART hoped the subject would be inquired into. Mr. WAKLEY said the expenditure had been so enor mous, and the result so unsatisfactory, that he really hoped the Committee would make their Report at once. Mr. C. BULLER trusted that Hon. Members would not draw so unfavourable a result from the Report that had been presented. LONDON CEMETERIES' COMPANY. On the motion of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE this Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to the Surrey List. JEWISH DISABILITIES. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petition from the Provost and Town Council of Edinburgl, praying for the removal of all civil disabilities affecting persons of the Jewish persuasion. He was glad to find that the pre. sent petitioners concurred in the prayer of a petition which he presented a few days since from certain Jews of Edin burgh. , DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY. Mr. O'CONNELL moved the third reading of this Bill. Lord ACHESON could not allow the Bill to be read a third time without entering his protest against it. Since the present Bill was introduced, a new Company had been established, for the purpose of forming a line of Railway from Dublin to Armagh, and as this line would be one of much greater public utility, he thought it should be pre ferred. He would not, however, take the sense of the House upon it. Bill was then read a third time and passed. BIRMINGHAM AND DERBY JUNCTION RAILWAY. Sir ROBERT PEEL presented a petition from certain shareholders of this railway, against a Bill now before Par liament for the remission of tolls on railways. He thought it of great importance that a day should be named, on which the sense of the House should be taken, because it was keeping in great suspense parties who had money to embark in these speculations. The present was the case °fa Bill which had al ready passed, and was a direct interference with vested rights. —(Hear, hear.) He (Sir R. Peel) would feel it his duty on principle to object to the measure—( Hear, hear)—and he hoped the Right Hon., the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, would state what the intentions of Government were with respect to that Bill ? Mr. LABOUCHERE, in the absence of his Right Hon. Friend, could only say, that he believed it was the intention of the Hon. Member to persevere with his Bill, but he could not say what was the .intention of the Go vernment upon the subject. Mr. HAWES understood the Bill was fixed for the second reading that evening, and it was most important that the opinion of Government upon the subject should be known. Mr. ROBINSON said his constituents took a deep interest in the question, and without entering upon its merits, he would merely observe, that all they wanted to know was what the intentions of the Government were. It was rather extraordinary that upon a question of such importance the Government had not made up their minds ; the consequence of which was, that a large amount of capital was paralysed, and extensive operations, in which the public were deeply interested, suspended. Mr. LABOUCHERE explained—The Hon. Member misunderstood him, if he supposed that he (Mr. L.) had stated that the Government had not made up their minds. He was satisfied that when the Bill was before the House the Government would be prepared to state what course it meant to pursue ; but he could not take upon himself to state what that would be in the absence of his Right Hon. Friend. Mr. HAWES wished to ask whether, as Tuesdays were set apart for the discussion of Railway Bills, to-morrow might not be devoted to the discussion of this Bill ? It related to railroads, and it would be a great public conve nience to have the question settled. Mr. O'CONNELL said this Bill created alarm in every part of the empire —the more especially as being brought forward at this period, for many Bills had already passed, and, of course, the interest i n th ese w a s vested, and the Bill could not be made retrospective—it would, therefore, be unjust to fix it upon those in progress. He hoped the Hon. Member who had charge of the Bill, and who was acting openly, fairly, and honestly, would re-consider his plan, and with !raw' the Bill for the present. Sir ROBERT PRICE was not prepared to support the Bill, but he thought there was a necessity for some such measure. Mr. M. PHILLIPS agreed with the Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel). He hoped the debate would take place as early as possible, so that the public might know how to employ their capital. A great deal of capital was laid out in canals ; and, upon inquiry, it would be found that no inor dinate [moth had arisen from them. IRISH CHURCH. On the Order of the Day being moved for the bringing up of the Report cf the Committee on the Irish Church Bill, Mr. CLAY said that he had expected to have had an opportunity this evening of bringing forward his motion re specting the Danish Claims ; as, however, he could not do so that evening, he wished to know when ,he would be enabled to do so ? Lord J. RUSSELL . was understood to say that an op portunity would be afforded to the Hon. Member, if the business of the House would admit of it, to bring forward the subejet -on Friday next. Mr. CLAY then crave notice that on•m o ving the first Order of the Day on Friday next he would bring forward the subject. Mr. BERNAL then brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the Irish Church Sir J. GRAHAM said that he perceived that some al terations of importance had been made in this Bill, affecting the quantity of surplus after supplying the wants of the Irish Church. He found. that in one instance the minimum had , been raised from - 100/. to 150/. ; and in another instance from 200/. to 2501. There had been also some alterations in the estimates of the income of the beneficed Clergy, on which he wished to hear some ex planation from the Noble. Lord opposite, Lord Morpeth. • Lord MORPETH stated- in reply, that he had made the alterations to which the Right Hon. Baronet had ad verted. He had increased the minimum in consequence of the objections that had been made by the other,side,. but it would in no degree diminish the surplus. Whatever amount of glebe land might be allotted, it would be free of rent. The Noble Lord then moved that the Bill be printed, and read a third time on Friday. • Mr. GOULBURN said that a Bill had been read a first time the other night before he - could know what the subject of it was. He bad had no' opportunity of knowing the nature of the Bill until it had been sent to him. It struck him to be as extraordinary, a Bill as was ever laid on the table. Was it to be endured that a tithe should' be abolished, without stating there Was to be a com-. pensation or valuation made of what the ; tithe was that was to be abolished, merely,. because it was (lac* to give a reason why the personal tithe should be abolished ? This was the only Bill he had ever seen without a preamble. - Lord JOHN RUSSELL had no doubt the Right Hon. Gentleman took a great interest in questions of this nature, but certainly the Right Hon. Gentleman had not spoken while a lone. discussion took place upon the subject. The opinion of the House upon a late occasion almost universally was, that personal tithes .was a very great oppiession, that they could not be collected, and that •they ought not to remain any longer.—(Hear, hear.) He was quite willing, if it would be satisfactory to the Right Hon. Gentleman, to introduce a preamble stating—" Whereas it was expe dient that personal tithes should be abolished, and so as"— (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. GOULBURN thought, if the Noble Lord would make a little inquiry, he would find that personal tithes formed a great part of the property of the clergy.—(Hear, hear.) He believed the tithe could be collected, if not, there was no necessity for introducing the Bill, but he con sidered it was but just if the tithe was to be abolished that some compensation' should be made. He should take an objection to abolishing any kind of tithe absolutely. The ATTORNE Y-GENERAL believed the only per sonal tithe that would he • abolished by the Bill was the tithes on labour,—( Hear.) He believed that by law they might be collected, but to the honour of the clergy, except in very rare instances, such a tithe had not been insisted upon.—(Hear, hear.) • With regard to the preamble, there had been a series of Bills passed, had received the Royal Assent, and had been made the law of the land without any preamble whatever having been attached to them. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that it was in consequence of a motion he had made, that the House came to the determination that personal tithes should be abo lished, and it was in consequence of that determination the Noble Lord had brought in the Bill. The Right Hon. Gentleman had asked what reason there was for abolishing the tithe. On the evening he had brought forward the motion, he stated only find one instance in which the tithe had been demanded, and that was a case in Yorkshire, where a clergyman had endeavoured to exact four shil lings and four pence from a day-labourer, and that day labourer had been 'committed to prison for three months by a brother magistrate. He was sorry the Noble Lord's Bill did not go further, and do away with tithes on fishing, because that was a description of tithe that ought equally to be abolished.—(Hear, hear, hear !) Easter offerings were originally intended in lieu of personal tithes. The House thee resolved itself into Committee on the Bill ; the amendments were agreed to, when the House resumed. EMIGRATION.—VAN DIEMAN'S LAND. Mr. WALTER, in pursuance of a notice, that on an Order of the Day being read, he should submit a motion on the subject of Emigration to Van Dieman's Land. After some observations on the system pursued by the Emigration Committee, which the remote position of the Hon. Member prevented our hearing, Mr. Walter pro ceeded to read some extracts from a Hobart Town paper of February last, complaining of the tender age of the females who had been sent out, and represent ing the difficulty of procuring them situations. As he would not have the benefit of a reply, he would pro ceed to notice some of the objections which might be urged against them.- Some gentlemen connected with property in that county might allude to the testimony which had been given before them, but he (Mr. W.) would not receive any evidence unless it were most strictly examined. and sifted. Others might refer to the Reports of Com missioners and Committee ; but he would pay very little attention to them—they were in the most part made up for 'serving the purposes of those by whom• they were appointed. The Irish Poor Law Report was now very much talked of-wit was largely made up out of tlie English Report, which was most fallacious.—(Hear, Tie Report from the parish of Chordeley (as we under stood) made such an impression upon him, that he went down last autumn, in order to inspect the place. It was true that the parish was ate up by the rates, but what ,would the House think when he informed them that the whole parish consisted of not more than two farms of fifty acres each ; and forty-four acres in the parish was waste land., He would now be very 'cautious of receiving the Reports of Commissions generally, without examination. If the facts which he had stated could be controverted, he hoped that such an opportunity would be afforded ; but he thought it his duty to lay them before the House, in the hope that they would be investi gated. The motion with which he would conclude was for an humble address to his Majesty, that he would be graciously pleased to issue orders to the effect that certain circulars which had ceen sent to different Postmasters, and to Clergymen of the Established Church, detailing the advantages of emigration, might be withdrawn, and that the Secretary of State he directed to ascertain by whose autho rity such circulars had been issued. _ _ Mr. WAKLEY seconded the motion. Sir G. Grey had already stated that these circulars giving publicity to the advantages of emigration to New South Wales had been circulated without authority. He felt it his duty to give this motion his humble opposition. He hoped that the people of England would not take their idea of the advantages or disadvantages of emigration from the state ment of the Hon. Member for Berkshire, Or from the anonymous paragraphs, that appeared in some of the news papers on the subject.—( Hear, hear.) He believed that emigration, wisely and prudently conducted, would lead to the general advantages of emigrants from this country. The Hon. Member in place of collecting his information from newspaper paragraphs, ought to refer to- the papers of that House.—(Hear.) It was not be Wondered at that out of so many some of the females should turn out badly The whole subject .had, however, been taken up in the proper quarter—namely, by the Colonies themselves. Much good had been done already, and much more would no dodbt be accomplished. He, therefore, hoped the statements of the Hon. Member would be received with great caution by the House.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CHARLES LUSHINGTON hoped the House' would allow him to give some explanation in - reference to the statement which had 4)een made by the Hon. Member for Berkshire. He (Mr. Lushington) had been a member of the Emigration Committee from its origin to the present time, and he was competent to give every information to the House respecting its proceedings. In order to obviate the inconvenience of a preponderance of males, which existed in the colony, a bounty was offered by the Govern ment to encourage the emigration of young females, and that system had been found productive of great temptation seduction and frightful excesses, and a Committee of gen tlemen offered their services to promote the object. The Hon. Member here alluded to the various Members of the Committee, the characters of all of whom were, he would assert above suspicion. He would beg to read an extract from the letter of a clergyman of the Church of England (the Rev. Mr. Knight, of Torbay,) with reference to one of the last vessels of the Committee. He stated that he had been often on board, and testified to the respect ability of the females, and the good order observed by them. The Hon. Gentleman had stated that no less than two thirds of the females that were imported into Sidney had followed licentious courses. The fact was they were contaminated by the vices of one of the most aban doned and dissolute colonies belonging to his Majes ty's dominions. And to prove this, the Hon. Gentleman . read an extract from the charge of the Chief Justice to the Jury at the close of the Session of 1835. Then it had been stated that this vice and debauchery was con fined to the lower orders—that was not the case. The Honourable Baronet opposite would bear him out when he asserted that a gentleman holding a judicial situation in the Colony of Sydney had been removed from that situation, because he had passed himself off as an unmar ried man, and had endeavoured to seduce a female, who had arrived by one of the vessels. The Hon. Gentleman con-; eluded by stating he had no favourite view to carry into effect his sole wish was to promote that cause which was the cause of truth, humanity and virtue.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was then negatived without a division. The House then went into Committee on the County Elections Poll Bill. Mr. GOULBURN thought the Bill would increase the expenses of county elections, as many more agents would be rendered necessary Which would cost more than would be saved in the conveyance of voters. Another objection was, that the poll might be kept open till six o'clock. (LEFT SPEAKING) HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at five o'clock. Lord KENYON presented a petition from the Parish Clerk of Narylebone, against the Marriage Registration Bill. The Bishop of EXETER presented similar petitions from the Parish Clerks of Hereford. [During the time the Right Rev. Bishops were present ing their petitions, the Duke of WELLINGTON entered the Mouse for the first time since his accident. The Noble Duke walked extremel3 lame.[ The Marquis - of CLANRICARDE moved that Rentiie's Brighton Railway Bill should be referred to the CoMmittea now :sitting upon the other competing lines of the Bdg btoa Railway._ The Duke of RICHMOND objected to it. That Committee had already sat four days, and if other lines were to be referred to it, the termination of its sittings .would'be'exterided to an indefinite period. ' After some discussion the . Bill was referred. • 'The Maninis 'of CLANRICARDE presented several petitions in favour of the South Durham Railway Bill. Several other Noble Lords presented similar petitions. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE then moved the second reading of the South Durham Railway Bill. The Marquis of LONDON DERRYopposed the second reading of the Bill. He did so on account of the great detriment that it would cause -to an estate of his on Which he had expended, within the last few years, no less a ' sum than 80,000/. He did not believe the Bill was at all likely to be of any public benefit ; if lie thought it would, he would be the last man in the world to oppose it, though its object was tb strike at his verp exist ence.—( Hear.) To discuss the merits of the Bill before a Committee would be attended with great inconvenience to him, and he therefore would move that the Bill should he read a second time that day three months. Lord HO WDEN supported the second reading of the Bill. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE trusted the House wonld adopt his motion. He did not. now consider himself bound, though he had moved the second reading of the Bill, to go into its details ; but if the Noble Marquis (Lon donderry) felt he should be injured by it, the same course must be adopted with respect to him that was taken with respect to other individuals ; he must prove that injury be fore a Committee. Lord WHARNCLIFFE opposed the second reading of the Bill. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading, contents l9 Against it, not contents.. Majority against the Bill —32 The Archbishop cf CANTERBURY 'presented peti tions against the Marriage Registration Bill from the Deanery of Essex, and other places. Lord LYNDHURST presented a petition, from the Six Clerks of the Court of Chancery, in Ireland, in favour of the Bill introduced by the Lord Chancellor, to amend the practice of the Court of Chancery. The petitioners also prayed for compensation. The Bishop of LLANDAFF presented petitions against the Registration of Marriages and Births' Bill. Lord WYNFORD presented a petition from Farn against the Poor Law Amendment Act. . _ _ _ - The Earl of GLENGALL presented a petition from the spirit-dealers of Dublin against the Excise License Bill. (LEFT SITTING.) Emigration to Africa is in great favour in Wirtem berg, and even the King has expressed to the French Minister M. do Fontenay, the satisfaction he feels on the occasion; inasmuch as he considers Africa a better country for relieving his kingdom of its surplus population, than the United States or that part of North America which adjoins Mexico. Con sequently we shall soon see a great number of colonists ar riving at Toulon from Wirtembcrg for the purpose of crossing over to Africa. A very frequent correspondence is said to be kept up between Marshal Clause! and an enlightened Ger man agent, who formerly was very active in encouraging emi gration to the other side of the At/antic, but who now uses all his influence in assisting those who wish to cross the Mediter ranean.—FrenchPaper. A female relation of the Archbishop of Paris, says the Journal du Commerce, and a young lady who has been converted from the Protestant Church, received the veil from the hands of the Archbishop on Tuesday at the Convent of the Yisitandines, in the Rue des Postes.—Galignani's Mes senger. Horse-stealing was never so prevalent as it is at present. Last week an individual had three valuable horses stolen from him in an adjoining county. It is supposed that many of the animals so stolen are exported to the Continent; at all events, some measures should ho devised to abate the evil, and to discover the thieves, for the number of horses stolen in the year is incredible. On Saturday a mantuatnaker, of the rue du Fouare, in Paris, in a fit of despair from disappointed love, attempted to destroy herself by suffocation, but the fumes of th e c h arcoa l she had light e d b e i ng p erce i ve d by the neighbours, alarm was created, the Commissary of Police sent for, her apartment entered, and the poor young woman found nearly exhausted. She was carried to the Hotel Dieu, with little hopes of being rostored. SPORTIN G INTELLIGENCE. NEWTON ABBOT RACES— TMURSDA r. The Torquay Stakes of 5 sovs. each, 2 ft. 2D Subs. Sir W.

ETON COLLEGIANS.—Friday evening a match between the best six, Fellowes, Currey, max., Garnett, Shadwell, Wynd ham, and Croft, in the Thetis; and the next eight, Currey, mi., Rouse, Stanley, Maunsell, Forbes, Miles, Boseowen, and Fane, in the Britannia, was pulled on the river, over the old distance. 6to 4 offered upon the Britannia, but little or no betting. Th e B r i tann i a showed first; shehad a lively little crew, and pulled twice round the eyot to show her strength ; on passing the yard a second time she, gave a nod of defiance to the Th e ti s , w hi c h was immediately launched and. manned. Fellowes and his crew appeared wanting in confi dence, but struck off with a strong pull, and the boat glided. beautifully through the water. The start immediately took place, and at the Clump th e Th et i s was a good boat ' s length a-head of her opponent ; she had now, however, a strong stream to contend with, and at the crossing midway, between this and the Lower Hope, the Britannia ran slap into the middle, and wedged her to the bank. Finding herself in difficulties she here allowed the Britannia to move on, that almost instantly rounded her stern, and again came up along side of her; the oars now got entangled, the boats fixed, and. for some minutes a severe struggle for the mastership ensued. The minors at last contrived, with a good deal of generalship, to extricate themselves; but the Thetis kept close upon their rudder to Lower Hope, where the Britannia gained a little. At Upper Hope Fellowes deviated from his stroke, was en tirely out of keeping with his crew, and obliged to shift ; the boat was also steered badly round this point. At the turn the Britannia bad a good lead, which it kept, although closely followed to the winning -post, terminating one of the best matches this season. A six-oared boat race, between the two Upper Sixes, is fixed for Friday next. The distance to be from Windsor Bridge, round the rushes, and back. The betting runs at present even; but the boat led by Fellowes appears to have the greatest call, and we think it very likely, between this and the time of starting, a few odds may be offered. CRICKETING. To-morrow one of the grandest cricket matches of the season commences at Lord's Ground, the South of England against the North of England. The nonpareil bowler, Lilly white, was completely " knocked up" by the intense heat of the weather last week at Lord's, and the Southern players will consequently be deprived of his able assistance. PEDESTRIANISM.--A sailor, assuming the cognomen of " The Wiltshire Youth"' undertook to walk fourteen miles iiA two hours, at Barnet, on the 6th inst. He started from Mr. Koe's, the Edinburgh Castle Inn, at ten minutes past two o'clOck (the ground selected being one mile along the north road); he accomplished eight miles within the first hour and finished the whole distance within 11# minutes of the given time. Botting was at first against him, not only on account of the difficulty of the undertaking itself, but on account of that dif ficulty being increased by the extreme heat of the weather.. His companion stated that in March last the same individual started on foot with the mail from Warminster, and reached Devizes ten minutes before the mail arrived lherc. It appears the only object of the pedestrian on that occasion, as well as on the present, was to " raise the wind." He declared his in tention of running eleven miles within one hour, if his "begg- , ing box" proved success f u l at B arnet ; b ut we presume Oka " rint-payers" hung fire, as he did not perform the latter feat..

POSTHUMOUS MEMOIRS, BY SIR WILLIAM . WRAXALL, BART.—Time, the unfailing dispenser of justice, has produced a recognition of the veracity of this write} '; even in that very party who formerly impu g ned his correriness. Wraxall is now calkd the Clarend on o f the reign of George 111. ; and had he lived to the present day, when his value as an " honest chronicler," is universally appreciated, be might have considered unnecessary the remarkable words with which he has concluded the final portion of his memoirs, wherein vindicating his truth and impartiality, he says, ", Conscious that I stand on the verge of life, and that I must' render an account at the bar of that power from whom I received my being, of all shat I have written, as well as of all that I hava done, I can offer no homage to him except truth ; while to Pos terity my greatest, if not my only, recommendation must con- sist in my impartiality." The Duke of Orleans is about to send to the Empress of Austria a book of prayers, of which the following description is given :—The text is to he printed in brilliant blue letters upon white watered silk leaves ; the initials or head letters of gold illuminated with arabesques of the most vivid colours. Each page will he surrounded by a vignette border, sta m p e d i n go ld , b y a process used only at the ftcyal printing-office. The titles of the chapters arc to be adorned with delicate foliage and figures painted by the hand. The volume will contain 50 vignettes or pictures painted by the first artists of France, each surrounded by typographical orna ments in gold. The lining of the volume will be in cloth of gold, with the double-headed eagle of Austria embroidered in velvet. The edges of the leaves will be chased, according to the style of the ancient oriental manuscripts, and the ribands for marking the places have at their ends small gold medal lions, with the Empress's initials in enamel. The binding is to be adorned with small medallions or has reliefs in chased gold, representing subjects taken from the history of the Virgin Mary, divided from each other by carvings in ivory, and black and gold enamel. All the bosses are to be formed off emeralds, and the clasps composed of the animals that are emblems of the four evangelists.
